Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹

For #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth I'm introducing Native American deities 🌎

#Haumea is the Hawaiian goddess of fertility and childbirth. She repeatedly transforms herself from an old woman to a young girl using a magic stick and has sex with humans. When her identity is found out, she leaves humanity behind. The trickster god #Kaulu catches her in a net and murders her.

'That was its mission: to carry out a federal government policy that, in practice, often became a genocidal war.'"

In this short documentary by #WenonaBenally and #SalBaldenegro from Tucson, #Arizona, cultural experts demonstrate these traditional practices and implementations for future community planning."
